1. Raw materials: Trees are harvested and debarked. The wood is then chipped into small pieces and cooked in chemicals to separate the fibers.

2. Pulp: The resulting pulp is a mixture of cellulose fibers and water. It is then washed and screened to remove impurities.

3. Paper machine: The pulp is fed into a paper machine, which forms it into a continuous sheet. The sheet is then pressed to remove excess water.

4. Drying: The paper is passed through a series of heated rollers to dry it.

5. Finishing: The finished paper is calendared to make it smooth and glossy. It may also be coated with chemicals to make it water-resistant or to improve its printing properties.
